Google, in it's continuing attempt to map the known universe, has given us Google Mars. http://www.google.com/mars

Anyone been to, or seen a picture of, America's Grand Canyon? At 500 miles long, up to 20 miles across and over a mile deep, it is quite impressive!

Compare it to the Grand Canyon of Mars (Valles Marineris): 1800 miles long, up to 600 miles wide and up to 5 miles deep. Wow, what a crevace!

HI,
Saw our Grand Canyon just once.
You are right; WOW, what a canyon on Mars.

I bet the martians have done the same thing to the US,via Mars at home etc.As a footnote,anyone in the UK remember the Cadbury's Smash tele-ad many years ago? :D

I've never been to our grand canyon.. but geez I can't imagine anything like that bigger anywhere here or on another planet. That's pretty impressive.

Another trivia note about Mars: It also has the biggest volcano in the solar system.
